Unfortunately, there currently isn't a universal book format that can handle complex formatting for android / amazon / itunes etc. You can publish as a PDF and send it to one of a few unknown little used PDF sites.... but that doesn't really get it 'out there'.
I'm attempting to publish (free for download) a technical pdf that's about 15 pages long. There are really two options. I could try to figure out a way to export the PDF to Html. Experience tells me that the formatting is going to be completely borked if I do that, and my attempts last night sort of proved it wasn't going to work.
The second option is to publish it as a slideshow of pictures. There are multiple PDF to picture converters around for free. That part is easy. I could easily just screenshot them myself if it came to that.
What I'm looking for is the framework that I can package with those pictures so that they are shown 1 at a time, with page forward page back options, that I can put together into a single .apk android app for download at the app store.
Anyone know if such a thing exists?
